On March 28, 2026, exciting news came from the WSBK race (世界超级摩托车锦标赛) at Algarve International Track in Portugal. A French rider, on a Zhangxue 820RR-RS motorcycle, crossed the finish line and won the first place. He beat the second rider by nearly 4 seconds, and won another champion in the second round even after a mistake and a great comeback. This win broke the long-term monopoly(垄断) of big international brands like Ducati, and let Chinese motorcycles step on the world’s top racing stage.
The man behind this success is 38-year-old Zhang Xue. His story is not only a grass-roots legend草根逆袭, but also a symbol of China’s manufacturing development. Zhang was born in a poor village in Huaihua, Hunan. His parents divorced when he was young, and he once made a living by picking up rubbish. At 14, he left school and became a learner in a motorcycle repair shop. With his deep love for motorcycles, he could even put an engine together with his eyes closed.
At 19, he rode over 100 kilometers in the rain to catch up with a TV program team, just to get a chance to be noticed by a racing team. Later, he became a stunt rider(特技车手). Knowing his own limits, he turned to making motorcycles. He went to Chongqing with only 20,000 yuan to build and sell motorcycles, set up his first brand, and even left his company because he insisted on self-developing engines. In 2024, he started a new brand named after himself. Finally, his fully Chinese-made bike made history in 2026.
